recommendation
1. Find that the project is Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15061(b)(3) (“General Rule”) based on the findings and conclusions in the staff report.
2. The Planning Commission recommends the City Council adopt the revisions to Title 13 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code (Zoning Code) to allow for ministerial approval of two-unit Small Lot Ordinance (SLO) projects.

3. Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution establishing a fee for two-unit ministerial SLO projects and reaffirming the same fee for Urban Lot Split projects.
